You moved to France over 33 years ago and never earned in France Doug and had no French income/pension? None of my business of course, apologies.

I understood the new 100€ would only be paid through France income, or is this the same as last years minimum of € 48 and a maximum of € 277? I am confused because there is no 100€ payment for this.

Mine is supposed to be paid directly to the company that received the payment earlier in the year

It seems I am very confused. There 2 lots of payments this year maybe. I have obviously been reading Connections again. :oops: The site I cited is out of date, that'll teach me!

I've been accused of just that ie quoting media.
Nearly all of my info comes from either the uk gov sites or french gouv sites. Although how bojo gives out lies and more lies who's to believe the uk gov sites.

Aha! All becomes clear..https://www.midilibre.fr/2021/10/26/che ... 891544.php. Two totally different helpings of aid. I'll admit I haven't really followed up on Macron's initial announcement, so no doubt the distribution of the payment has evolved since then. As he promised it to low-income workers first, via their employers, then chomeurs, via the sécu, then pensioners, via their caisse, it was logical to assume that Brit pensioners who've never worked here aren't affiliated to a French pension caisse. So the question was 'Would we receive it, and if so, how?' Silly me, I thought that was the answer :D It's a shame that he didn't feel able to knock a few cents off the price of carburant, though. Diesel prices going through the roof have a knock-on effect on the cost of living generally.

I didn't think that we got about much, but diesel has become our third-largest outgoing after Taxe Foncière and electricity :shock: The revolution will start when we can no longer afford the (reduced size) sachets of Felix. The cats are already on mousing overtime, but can't see the Pres allocating a prime pour pussies :D

And our sole income is a UK pension and we get the €100. If we get it paid twice this year it makes up for that scumbag IDS pinching our winter fuel allowance.
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

Mmmm, that still stings. Especially when you keep an eye on comparitive temperatures in UK and SW France and UK is warmer. But that still begs the question as to whether Brit pensioners will receive the indemnité contre l'inflation and if so, how?
